After spending a year behind bars for the murder of Tina McIntyre, Rob will decide to start shaking up life on the Street once again by sending out visiting orders for a number of the residents.

Exactly what Rob has up his sleeve remains to be seen, but show bosses are teasing that he could hold the key to a huge Connor family secret that he may be able to use to his advantage.

Speaking of his shock Coronation Street comeback, Baylis commented: "I can't wait to play Rob again and see what he has up his sleeve. One thing is certain - prison won't stop Rob from affecting lives on the street."

Rob's reappearance will come just as his ex-partner Tracy Barlow (Kate Ford) is trying to move on from their turbulent relationship.
